Billy and Pat
In the tradition of Hollywood this version of the saga of Billy The Kid is as false
as many others were including some more modern versions purported to be the
real story. In fact this has one truly radical change I won't reveal.
Johnny Mack Brown who would shortly find his career niche in B westerns is William Bonney. Pat Garrett is played by Wallace Beery who plays it a bit more straight forward without the usual mugging for the camera.
Some of the other characters from the Lincoln County War are here as well. Kay Johnson supplies the love interest who tries to keep Bill Bonney on the straight and narrow.
This Billy The Kid is a decent western and does credit to both of its leads.
